This week I discuss a recent paper titled:Omega-6 vegetable oils as a driver of coronary heart disease: the oxidized linoleic acid hypothesis. This paper goes through details regarding the evidence implicating omega-6-rich vegetable oils as a causative factor in atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

The intake of omega-6 vegetable oils, particularly soybean oil, began to increase in the USA starting in the early 1900s at a time when the consumption of butter and lard was on the decline. This caused a more than two-fold increase in the intake of linoleic acid, the main omega-6 polyunsaturated fat found in vegetable oils.

In summary, evidence shows that the omega-6 polyunsaturated fat linoleic acid promotes oxidative stress, oxidized LDL, chronic low-grade inflammation and atherosclerosis, and is likely a major dietary culprit for causing coronary heart disease especially when consumed in the form of industrial seed oils commonly referred to as ‘vegetable oils’.

The best way to avoid consumption of these vegetable oils is to cook for yourself with ghee, butter, tallow, coconut oil and/or extra virgin olive oil. Also, be sure to read any labels because these oils are everywhere!

Have a great day!
